I’m sure we all agree that an official communication from the Nothing team about the update would be greatly appreciated. However, in this post there have been many people who DO NOT KNOW about the bimonthly update cycle, and they were already talking about ‘update delayed’ when not even a month and a half had passed after the previous update, just because the Phone (2a) is getting the normal consecutive initial updates after launch, as usually happens with any new product.

That makes me think that many people do not inform themselves about what they buy before paying, and then they demand things never promised from the brands (Nothing or any other).

        Yes, currently there’s a delay of a week, but this post is from 17 days ago, is what I’m referring to. Even back then they were talking about delay.

          Where you live must be different to here. I have no way to find out how the phone I am buying will function before I have handed over my hard earned cash. No way to see how it will function before I have it in my hands and that is after having paid for it.

          The one I have is likeit was half a year ago, not better not worse.

          I have no problem with the phone 2a gets updated, I have problem with that the one I have still has same miserable camera software it had from when it was made. No camera software update since they made it.

              I am waiting for the Samsung S25+ to come. Then somebody will have mine with no good camera Nothing Phone2. I paid too much for it to sell for the price it will be worth, so that is out of the question.

              I know that Samsung phones are filled with bloat, but luckily that is easy to get rid of, have done that on several Samsung phones.

              Might buy a Galaxy A55 while waiting for the new S serie, the A55 started to sell a couple of days ago and both cheaper and better specced than the Phone2 I bought by mistake. My mistake. Not blaming anybody.

                  A55 better specs than Phone (2) 💀 I repeat, the wait for the update is making people hallucinate here.

                  UFS 2.2, LPDDR4X RAM, 700k on Antutu, no LTPO, 25W charge, no wireless charge… and you seriously say that it is better than the Phone (2). Really some of you have no idea what you have on your hands.

                      Jean Maybe what he wants to express is that it has higher cost performance. The price of phone2 is very expensive, but the service is terrible.

                          $599 starting price for a flagship is really far from being ‘expensive’. Currently a normal flagship (base iPhone 15, base S24) starts from $799.

                          It is literally the first time since the launch of the Phone (2) that there is a delay in an update and everyone loses their mind.

                              Jean If you want to compare with iPhone and S24, do you have their configuration and their software services?

                                  User_sAXQvzkCC6 I’m not comparing devices. I’m showing you that saying that it is an expensive phone is not true. And no, the price cannot be compared to a Realme or Redmi device that finance part of their price with ads and bloatware (even Samsung has a lot of bloatware, without that they would be even more expensive).

                                      Jean It cannot be compared with vivo and Xiaomi. The latest model of Xiaomi already uses flagship configurations but the price is about the same as the iPhone 2.

                                          You are still not getting the difference between brands that finance part of the price of their devices with bloatware and ads in system, and brands with zero bloatware or ads.

                                          There are very few brands that do what Nothing with the OS does, like Nokia, and Nokia is much more overpriced, with zero feature developments (just clean Android).

                                              I think nothing gave a good handful amount of time for the updates of Phone 2a. Considering phone 2a is one of their best sellers, Hence they are giving it more time to get that phone perfect. And about phone 2 it’s their flagship product no-one denying that, But there are not many phone 2 users compared to phone 1 and 2a. So priority wise it’s their least priority device now.
